I must be honest, even though the capture appears to be place for tranquility and peaceful introspection, it was indeed quite a “High Stress” environment. As shortly before I got to the view point from which I captured this frame, I walked by a rather dangerous snake. A very large Cape Cobra.

Fortunately for me, I was making enough noise while trundling & trampling through the vineyard, so I did indeed suitably chase off the critter, shortly before I got within my own comfort zone relative to snakes. Especially venomous ones like that Cobra.

Did you know …The Cape cobra is regarded as one of the most dangerous species of cobra in all of Africa
